Violent Soho

These guys are the hot new thing out of Australia at the moment. Not sure how much international attention they're getting, but I think they're pretty awesome. They remind me of the great Australian music that was coming out in the late 90's/early thousands like Jebediah, Grinspoon, Magic Dirt and a bunch of other bands I doubt anyone outside of Oz has heard of. So check this out

and then check this out, because it's amazing, old Jebediah song that is heartbreakingly awesome

Here they're not very big, but this is one of the best band I've discovered last year. I first listened to the song Som of Sam and fell in love with that song.

And two other songs from them that I love:

I still doesn't have Hungry Ghost other than im mp3 but it was really too expensive from Australia when it was released.

I can probably hook you up. I'll PM you when I can get a cost. If you like Violent Soho might I suggest:

Jebediah - Leaving HomeGrinspoon - More Than You AreYou Am I - DamageMagic Dirt - Watch Out BoysFrente! - Bizarre Love TriangleAmmonia - DrugsThe Whitlams - No AphrodisiacThe Superjesus - Down AgainBen Lee - Cigarettes Will Kill YouCustard - Music Is CrapSilverchair - Ana's Song (Open Fire)The Living End - All Torn DownDiana Ah Naid - Perfect FamilyMachine Gun Fellatio (they're way better than the name would make you think, sorry) - Unsent LetterMotor Ace - American ShoesTex Perkins - I Know You Know I KnowSomething for Kate - MonstersBodyjar - One in a Million

Sorry, that was way more exhaustive than I intended. Not sure how big any of these guys got outside Australia, but they're the sound Violent Soho are kinda channeling. Well some of them anyway, the others I just like.

Thanks for the list! I was gonna ask if you knew bands who sound like them!

I only know Grinspoon, Silverchair and The Living End. I'll listen to the other songs.

wow massive list, sir - thanks for that!I'm always looking for good modern aussie bands but its hard to find them through the internet.

I love Adalita's solo stuff but never listened to Magic Dirt for some reason so gotta do this now, ha

Oh this is hardly modern sorry man, this is all 90s- early 2000's kinda stuff. If you can ever find them (they weren't even that big here) there was a brilliant band called Cartman that did some awesome tracks around 99-2001. Look for "Sugarcane" and "The One You're Without"

Glad to hear they're making a bit of a splash overseas. They've got a really distinctive Australian sound to them, as opposed to the stuff that gets marketed as "Aussie" over here (think Garth Brooks Country America VS. Bruce Springsteen real America).

Wow, this is fantastic. Ordering all their work asap.

I love 80-90s Seattle sound and this band feels cut from similar cloth.
